The 2027 yachting calendar
The yachting calendar is packed with world-class moments, and there is no finer way to experience them than from the deck of a private yacht. Watch the Monaco Grand Prix from the harbour, arrive at Cannes by tender, or follow the superyachts racing off Palma — then slip away to a quiet anchorage when the crowds go home. Josh knows every event below and can arrange the right yacht, berth and itinerary around it.
